A Decade of Ups and Downs

This is a long episode, but worth the listen to get the full picture of what life with a child living with a chronic illness is truly like. We cover doctors, trauma, hospital visits and lots of laughs and tears were shed. 

You will also hear us mention Under Our Skin several times, and if you haven't watched yet, here is your chance.

In this episode Cass sits down with Dr. Pamela Soto, her Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, for an educational conversation about women's health. 

The ladies discuss: 
* What is the pelvic floor 
* How pelvic floor therapy helps 
* Who should seek pelvic floor therapy 
* The lack of support for women's health in the US and more

We hope this episode helps bring some awareness to pelvic pain to help not only women, but everyone, have open pelvic health discussions.
